CLAM Not TRIED.
Condemned and Dismissed From Priest
hood Without a Hearing.

hood without - Hearing.
The Brooklyn Standard Union of the
9th published long statement by one
whose name Is not gwen, but who is
yOuched for as being in a position to
know whereof he speaks. 1t processes
to show that DIR. McGlynn was con
demned and dismissed from the priest
hood without hearing. The es-
sential features of the story are
in effect as follows: DR.. Burstall,
actin" in the capacity of coun-
sci for DIR. McGlynn prepared an elabO-
rate defense of his client and felt the ut
most confidence in his acquittal. Car
dlnaI Gibbons was in Rome; and as he
had taken strong ground in favor of the
Knights of Labor, on whose behalf Dr.
McGlynn had suffered admonition from
Archbishop Corrigan and Cardinal Sim
eoni. it was thought that he was 2 good
person to present McGlynn's defense to
the Propaganda. Accordingly II
was forwarded to him for that
purpose. But, the narrator goes on to
say, Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop
keane were very much interested III
carrying through the project of the
Catholic university and the cardinal
willing to help Cardinal Simeoni out lof
his McGlynn dilemma in order to for
ward the chances of the university, sup
pressed DR.. McGlynn's defense entirely
and let the case 20 to a hearing pro con-
fesSlo.
The authority quoted adds that Bish-
op Spalding. of Peoria, originated the
idea of the University and secured the
nucleus of $1,000 for it in the donation
of Miss Caldwell, of New York; that, on
finding that Bishop Spaiding had been
ignored in the ARRANGEMENTS for it she
withdrew the gilt and that she has not
restored it, though she hes been indi-
rectly threatened with q suit for the
II Oney. The story adds that Bishop
Moore, of Florida has taken up
DR.. McGlynn's case, has written the
facts Of the suppre ion f. Rome, and
that it is we're probable that the case
will be reopened. Moreover, it is stat
ed that Cardinal Gibbons favs he sup
pressed the case, beEey no tnat he was
acting for the bet, but that he now sees
a great injury was done McGlynn and
he Will do all he C'n II repair it.
About this publication Dr. McGlynn
said: at is substantially correct Cardi-

but did speak to DR.. Burtsall,
who wrote him a long letter CON
cerning my case. That letter was never
presented ut Rome In it d. Burtsall
said that if l was invited in a gentleman
ly way to 90 to Rome, undoubtedly
would 90. When asked what had be-
come of that letter Cardinal Gibbons said

horrible catastrophe. 1t not definitely
known how the signal for the mail to

New York Brokers Seek to Abolish the
saturday HaIf-Holiday.
New YORK, Sept. 9.-The near ap-
proach of autumn has made a great
many brokers restless under the Satur-
day half-holiday law. During the hot
weather. when business is ALWAYS dull
Saturday, they were willing enough
to sacrifice the then business hours and
HE themselves TO cool resorts. Now,
however. they feel as if they could no
longer spare the commissions they
might make in those hours. Henry
Clews led off some days ago with
a notice which he cOnspicuOusly posted
to the effect that bis office would keep
open Saturdays as on other davs Dur
ing the past week the subject has been
so extensively discussed that the gov
erning committee of the stock exchange
took the matter up at their last meeting.
No result was reached by the commit
tee, but it is understood that there was
practically no opposition to rescind-
ing the resolution passed last spring
closing the exchange after noon
Saturdays. 1t Is expected that
the committee at the next meeting will
order the exchange to be kept open
Saturdays as on other days, beginning
October l. A canvass has been made Of
the other exchanges, and in all of them
the sentiment was found to be strongly
in favor of this move. 1t Is very prob
able that any such action by the Stock
Exchange viii be speedily followed by
all the others.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 9.-Ihe Customs
Department was to-day apprised of
trick which has Just been played on the
American authorities by the captain of
the Alfred Adams, a British Columbia
sealing schooner. The Adams
was seized in Behring Sea last
month by the United States
revenue cutter Rush, and her seaIskins
and fishing tackle were taken away. A
prize crew was put on board and the
captain ordered to navigate the schoon-
er to Sitka. The captain seemingly
obeyed for the time, but, after
having parted company with
the Rush coolly headed the
Adams, tor Victoria, B. c., where she ar
rived few days ago. The prize crew
could do nothing to compel the captain
to proceed to Sitka, as tits understood to
have consisted of only tn men, and the
crew of the Adams, which had not been
removed, was too strong for them.
